When we think of energy, the first thoughts
that come to mind are things like our energy reserves, the
energy we get from the sun, or perhaps the energy we get
from the wind. There is a different form of energy, and that
is the electrical energy that we develop within our human
body.

The energy within the human body has
fascinated man for centuries. Walt Whitman created some of
his most powerful imagery when he wrote; "I sing the body
electric; the exquisite realization of health, with the
charge of the soul." "The charge of the soul" describes
ancient Chinese teachings on energy. They viewed energy as
the "chi", the life force that we carry within us. The
Chinese studied this "chi" for years, and continually
searched for ways in which man could capture and then
harness this energy.

How does all this electrical energy work?
Travelling from cell to cell are pulsating currents of pure
electrical energy. These cellular power plants supply
electrical energy to our organs and muscles to keep our body
running efficiently, but we rarely think of this continuous
activity within the body. Processes that we take for granted
such as breathing, cleansing, elimination, fat control and
healing, all depend on these countless cellular energy
plants.

Our energy is created at a cellular level
by the "burning up" of protein molecules within us. The
energy that we use for our physical activities are the end
result of the workings of the cellular power plants within
us.

Here is something that we should all give
serious thought to. Our bodies distribute our available
energy using strict priorities. Energy goes first to crucial
body functions such as breathing, then to muscles and
organs, then to digestion, then to cleansing and
elimination, and then to healing. However, there is only so
much energy to go around, and because most people exist at
barely half of their energy potential, the body must pick
and choose where it wants the energy to go. Because of this,
about half of our body functions are continually being
denied.

Fortunately, since our body is a lot
wiser than we are, it is not going to cut off the energy
needed for breathing to satisfy an energy requirement
somewhere else. It will use its available energy according
to the priorities that have been established. If energy is
required for some immediate activity such as digestion, it
will be directed away from some lesser activity such as
cleansing, waste elimination, fat maintenance, or organ and
muscle tone.

Because of this priority system, the
activity that requires the most energy, and which frequently
gets very little, is the natural healing process of the
body. Combating disease and infection requires a huge amount
of energy but this energy may not be available if our energy
levels are low. Our lifestyles and diets burn up so much
energy that our bodies may not have enough energy left to
heal themselves.

When our energy supply runs low all the
functions of our body are impaired. Digestion, absorption,
assimilation, elimination, circulation and respiration
become inefficient. All the tissues and fluids of the body
become sluggish. The cells are no longer nourished and we
feel unwell. Our health declines and we feel "sick". This
process is called degeneration.

Why do our energy supplies run low? We
receive energy from the things that we consume. Most of what
we now consume does not contain sufficient nutrition to keep
our energy supplies high. To recharge our energy plants we
must provide our body with wholesome food, but it is
becoming more and more difficult to find the high quality
food that will sustain us.

Our produce is often force-grown in
depleted soils, sprayed with toxic chemicals, and placed in
cold storage for months. It is then taken out of storage and
kept for a few hours under supermarket lighting. We then
take this produce home and boil out any remaining nutrition
that may have been left.

We may think that we are eating well, but
most of us are not. We need to consume those things that
supply us with a high level of nutrition, and the only
source we have available to us is food that has been grown
in rich soil, has been grown and processed without the use
of chemicals, and has not had its nutrition destroyed by
excessive heat. It is extremely important for us to
understand that everything we consume either makes an energy
deposit to our body, or it makes an energy withdrawal.
